In reply to Jessica. Maybe try Percy Jackson, I don't like harry potter or science fiction either but I read Percy Jackson when I was in 5th grade and loved it, I remember finishing it in like a week

Thanks for the round up of third grade series. I had no idea there were so many. It’s wonderful! We’ll be looking for these.

In reply to Jessica. I too am not a fan of AR because it seems to push competition and not a love for books. That being said, a lot of the classics have more points since they use harder words. Little Women if I remember correctly had like 50 points. I started reading it to my daughter when she was in 2nd grade and she ended up finishing it herself and passing the AR test.

In reply to Jessica.

I’m dislike AR for a variety of reasons so I am not familiar with the # of points for books. That being said, you might check these titles as they would be around 5th grade level and still appropriate.

My daughter loves to read and is in third grade! In school, they are tested by AR level and have a goal they have to meet. She is also very competitive and wants to get the highest score each time. Problem is she doesn’t like Harry Potter or science fiction type books. The girls that won last time read Harry Potter books which are worth 29 points or more and they are also on a 6th grade level or higher. No one is really suppose to read higher than their AR level and hers is 5.5 (5th grade 5th month) and she is the top reader in her grade. Anyways, i was just wondering if you knew any books that might be good for her to read that would be worth a lot of points, but not too mature for her.
